It's getting harder to remember when AMD and Nvidia were primarily graphics card companies
A hot potato: Rest in peace, dedicated consumer GPU makers. With Nvidia having long been an AI firm with a passing interest in making prohibitively expensive consumer graphics cards, AMD's boss has confirmed that Team Red now considers itself a "data center-first" company.
